NM Single Six - Frankonia

Minor discoloration can usually be removed by rubbing the stained area with an
abrasive ink eraser, crocus cloth, or a “metal polishing” compound. When using
any of these abrasives, proceed with care and use light pressure to achieve a
blending of ‘color’ with those areas that are not discolored.
Exposed surfaces on the firearm should be cleaned and wiped dry after use or
after exposure to adverse conditions. If the firearm is to be stored, coat it with a
light film of oil or preservative. Where the firearm is in continuous use, and the
presence of oil or grease would be objectionable, then the external surfaces can
be coated (after cleaning and drying) with a paste wax formulated for use on
metals. Apply the wax sparingly, allow time for it to dry hard, then buff lightly
with a soft cloth. When applying the wax take care that it does not get into the
mechanism or on the functioning parts such as the cylinder latch, trigger or
cylinder locking notches. A properly applied hard wax coating will not interfere
with comfortable gun handling and it will provide a measure of protection
against the formation of rust.
ATTACHING RUGER SCOPE RINGS
(HUNTER MODEL ONLY)
On the underside of each mounting ring assembly there is a locating “tab.” By
reference to this “tab,” the mounting ring can be assembled to the scope so that
the tab will fit correctly into the recess on the top of the barrel.
Disassemble one ring and reassemble over the scope body between the turret and
the eyepiece so that the clamp nut (D-73) is positioned to the left of the scope.
Install the four top screws. Do not tighten.
Disassemble the other ring and install it on the forward section of the scope tube
with the clamp nut positioned to the left of the scope. Install the four top screws.
Again, do not tighten.
Assemble the rings to the barrel with the locating “tab” engaging the recesses in
the top surface of the barrel. Tighten the clamp nuts so that the rings are locked
to the semi-circular cuts on the sides of the barrel. Rotate the scope until the
crosshairs are aligned properly, and slide the scope to the proper eye relief.
Then tighten the eight top screws a bit at a time to grip the scope body. Sight in
according to the direction with your scope.
ATTACHING 3/8” TIP-OFF SCOPE RINGS
(HUNTER MODEL ONLY)
Additional slots have been machined into the rib, which accept all tip-off rings
designed for 3/8” nominal dovetailed receivers.
Attach scope bases and scope to the rib in accordance with their instructions.
